I’ve installed FreeBSD 10.1 RELEASE on a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver. It seems to work reasonably well, but the pkg command seems to have a problem finding its repositories… Am I doing something wrong? > [root@grey ~]# pkg search port > pkg: Repository FreeBSD missing. 'pkg update' required > pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:powerpc/latest/meta.txz: Not Found > pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:10:powerpc/latest/packagesite.txz: Not Found > pkg: Repository FreeBSD cannot be opened. 'pkg update' required > [root@grey ~]# env > HOST=grey.rcthomas.org > SHELL=/bin/csh > TERM=xterm-256color > GROUP=wheel > USER=root > HOSTTYPE=FreeBSD > PAGER=more > PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin > MAIL=/var/mail/root > BLOCKSIZE=K > PWD=/root > EDITOR=vi > SHLVL=2 > HOME=/root > OSTYPE=FreeBSD > VENDOR=motorola > LOGNAME=root > MACHTYPE=powerpc Compiling ports takes *lots* of time on this decade old machine (700MHz, single core, 1GB RAM) — not fun! Thanks! Rickhome | help
